Darrel Ralph Small Apogee - 4 3/16" closed, 3 3/16" 420v blade, skeltonized carbon fiber scales, liner lock, dual thumb studs, titanium liners with textured borders, titanium clip. Liners, thumb studs and clip bronze anodized.
Purchased in March 2001 from Arizona Custom Knives for 375.00. Handled many times, carried a few times, and used to cut paper or cardboard a few times. The anodization wore off the clip and edges of the liners, so they look polished. The action is ok (not very smooth in my opinion) and the lock up is strong. You have to use your fingernail to release the liner lock. There is a small nick/flat spot in the edge of the blade about 1" from the handle (I have no idea how it happened as I didn't/don't use it to cut anything that should have caused it. Maker can probably sharpen and take it out real easy) A few small scatches on blade finish.
I can supply photos upon request.
$300 or best offer, shipped.
